Hi,
The N- is a long dash. MS-Word will make this when you use two dashes
side-by-each. So, instead of two dashes separated by a small space it is a
single line. As there is no equivalent in braille I assume Duxbury has been
written to assume the asterisk. Don't know why not a double dash though. I
notice that when I import bulleted lists I also get the double in
contraction (braille star I think). This does not disturb me much although
it has less meaning in braille than for print users.
Hope this is helpful.

Hi folks
Hope someone can explain something to me. I recently translated a word
document which contained a few dashes (jaws pronounced them endash). I
assumed DBT would translate them as the braille dash, but instead it
translated them as a ch sign followed by two in signs, which I think is the
braille asterisk or something like it. I don't know what version of word was
used to create the original document, but I'm using dbt 10.4. Is this
something which happens with certain versions of word?
Many thanks.
Lisette
